Friend of the pod Maria Dong joins us to discuss her new novel Liar, Dreamer, Thief a genre-bending novel about a disaster lesbian in a downward spiral. Maria talks about writing for the joy of writing, portraying mental illness, and the ins and outs of publishing. We also get into how she writes her books and short stories, editing those works for publishing, and how she got her start with DecodedPride.com! Plus, unlikeable characters! Bad decisions! Hard work!
